Long known and respected for its chocolates, Belgium produces as many distinct types of cheese as does France. Many of its 300+ varieties are made in very small quantities and are not exported out of the country. The examples we do get, however, are quite impressive. This unique assortment includes four of our favorites:

Chimay Trappiste with Beer: Made by the trappist monks of Scourmont, this semi-hard pressed cow's milk cheese is washed in Chimay Ale and matured for six weeks. Its creaminess and fine taste of good, fresh, creamy milk give it all its flavor. (7.5 oz)

Brugge Rodenbach: A delicious Belgian cheese ripened in Belgian Rodenbach beer. Made with pasteurized cow's milk of the highest quality, this smooth cheese is delicious sliced and served on a dark, nutty bread; shaved over vegetables; or as part of a cheese board. (7.5 oz)

Chimay Vieux: A semi-hard cow's milk cheese, Chimay Vieux impressed us as a sure hit the first time we tasted it. We love its delicious flavor, firm texture, and sweet bouquet and find it to have universal appeal. You will feel comfortable serving this cheese to anyone, as it will not offend those with basic tastes, yet will still wow the connoisseurs with its soft, toasty finish. (7.5 oz)

Oud Brugge: This cheese is Belgium's interpretation of a fine aged Gouda. Nutty, creamy and delicious, it is best served with a robust beer or ale. (7.5 oz)

The cheese assortment was purchased as a gift for my boss and her husband for Christmas. She loved it!

INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

I sent Belgian cheese gift box to a customer in las vegas (Elton's). They're receiving team failed to process the order in a timely manner and by the time they figured out it was a "perishable" item, it was too late. The owner called IGourmet and they immediately sent out a fresh box!! INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
